MILLBROOK — In a rare opportunity to experience talent that has topped the entertainment mountain for more than 60 years, the Millbrook Community Players announced Tuesday that they'll have Ed Asner on stage later this year.

The Emmy Award winning actor will present a one-man show for ages 18 and up on Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. The show will occur just days after his 90th birthday.

Asner, who lives in Los Angeles, is well known on TV for his role as Lou Grant on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and subsequent spin-off "Lou Grant." He is the winner of eight Emmy Awards, and has been nominated 27 times.

Asner also made a name for himself as a trade unionist and a political activist. He served two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild, from 1981-1985. He created the Ed Asner Family Center, which has a mission to promote self-confidence in differently abled individuals and bring balance and wellness to them and their families.

There is one show only and will be presented at the Millbrook theater, 5720 Main St. Tickets will be available online at millbrooktheater.com
